“But were the tongue and tune⟳ of Orpheus mine, / So that to Koré crying, or her lord, / In hymns, from Hades I might rescue⟳ thee— / Down would I go, and neither Plouton’s dog / Nor Charon, he whose oar sends souls across, / Should stay⟳ me till again I made thee stand⟳ / Living, within the light⟳!”

“The first picture represents “The Going Down of Persephone,” and contains two figures, Plouton and Persephone. The story told in the finest of seed letters is: “Plouton, who sends up from the nether world the abundance of corn and wealth of produce⟳, is on the point⟳ of taking Persephone down to his realm.” “Persephone, the life force⟳ which vivifies all in the spring⟳ time, producing the manifold harvests of earth, descends with Plouton to the under world in autumn.””

“The new twist⟳ is introduced in the course of a short and seemingly trivial conversation between two slaves, Xanthias and one of Plouton’s servants.”
